The school district says the incident happened after the school day had ended.

“The St. Joseph School District does not condone this type of behavior no matter when it occurs,” the district said in a statement. “… It is important that we partner with parents and community members to prevent bullying and fighting no matter what time it occurs. One of our district priorities is to keep our students safe and educate them with programs designed to eradicate bullying.”

According to KSHB, the district is trying to determine what to do with the other children involved.
